Oops Wrong Team
Had one over Christmas at Frosh Boys Tourney..5th place game. not real high quality B-Ball.
Partner calls OOB violation and yells Blue--I head toward my spot [we were doing the bad thing with a long switch] about time I get even with P he hands ball to White--I thought I might have misunderstood his call and make quick U-turn to get back to my spot as lead under Whites basket--ball is in-bounded--White dribbles down about to FT line Extended--and P realizes he gave ball to wrong team. Whistles to "correct his error"--I come out and advise him that in-bounding to wrong team is not a correctable error--and we have to live with it. I know maybe a do over is a possibility but you never know who is in stands watching or evaluating so it was best not to do two wrongs to make the right.
But--partner learned this was not correctable. We both learned, next time I'll question him if I was headed 1-way and needed the quick U-Turn because of what I thought he called.
